Hi Chris,
There a couple of things I'll take the time to point out -
In your ul.nav add padding: 0; because IE and Mozilla differ in using
margin and padding to indent lists - this will fix mozilla to display in
the correct left position.
I would also replace the width:100% in the a.nav and a.there elements
with a display:block - this will cause mozilla to display it correctly
as at the moment it is an inline element and hence won't fill the block
- The standards specifies that inline elements can't have a width and
hence IE should ignore the width but doesn't.
If you leave the width: 100% in then mozilla will not display as you
expect because the padding is added to the width - as per the spec (but
not really the most useful)
That should get you started.
BTW a large comment on how to structure this - you shouldn't need to use so
many classes and should use advanced selectors instead - here is quick
example of how I would lay out a list -
<ul id="navigation">
<li><a href="#">Link</a></li>
<li><a href="#" class="current">Link</a></li>
<li><a href="#">Link</a></li>
<li><a href="#">Link</a></li>
<li><a href="#">Link</a></li>
<li><a href="#">Link</a></li>
</ul>
and refer to it using contextual selectors like this:
#navigation{}
#navigation ul{}
#navigation li{}
#navigation a:link,
#navigation a:visited{}/*This is for the normal links*/
#navigation a:hover,
#navigation a:focus{}/*This is for the normal links hover and focus*/
#navigation a.current:link,
#navigation a.current:visited{} /*This is for the currently selected
links*/
#navigation a.current:hover,
#navigation a.current:focus{} /*This is for the currently selected links
hover and focus*/
This should allow you to reference all the elements in the same way you
currently do but with much simple HTML.
Russ has a great tutorial on both styling lists

Hey People,
I have had some issues with my websiteâ
Ok, I thought that if I used CSS then it would be more compatible in other
browsersâ
Check this out:
www.neester.com/index2.php
it looks terrible in Mozilla â perfect in IE, I havenât tested any others,
and I canât use BrowserCam anymore because I have used all my email
addresses already.
Can someone please tell me why this isnât working the way I hopedâ
I thought CSS was meant to help cross browser display by making CSS a
standard thingâ
But it seems that either IE or Mozilla are not following standardsâ
probably IE â it took me about 4 hours of reading up on CSS and I finally
got that website working fineâ
I love the look (I know its bland at the moment, but the contents will
brighten it up a little â I like the steel look)
If anyone has any tips, please shoot me with them, I need some right now.
Thanks!
Cheers!
